Become a Leader in Software Engineering

With your Master of Science in Software Engineering from UHCL, you’ll be prepared
to take a leadership role in the industry. You’ll be best prepared for your graduate
coursework by having an undergraduate degree in Computer Science. Studies in this
degree address the foundations, methodologies and tools used in the management, planning,
design and engineering of software systems. By providing a careful balance between
theory and practice, the plan prepares you for central software positions in industry,
government and institutions where software engineering has become a key activity.

UHCL Gives You Great Opportunities

As a software engineer, you’ll become a specialist with the skills and knowledge to
take charge of the testing, design, development and maintenance of computer software
for business and personal use. UHCL allows you to choose extended course work and
either the capstone option or thesis option to complete your degree. The plan requires
core areas of software engineering to be mastered, and each of these areas is covered
by a dedicated set of core and extended courses. We also offer this program in the
traditional face-to-face classroom setting and fully online.
